I didn't mean that it was pointless per say. Yes you would get a huge jump in aspects relating to the ccd like latitude and all that extra colour information. But consider this, you get what you pay for. The lens and the build quality are also factors along with ccd quality and framerate control. I don't have a gs series camera but i don't think it will output 24p, or anything outher than 30i.
So taking a $1000 camera and doing a mod that would cost over $3000 totals up to 4 grand for a camera that is still interlaced that uses windowing on it ccds, so it is not even reading the entire megapixel for video on the ccds. Then you have a smaller lens with less controls.
All camcorders can benefit from this mod, including old betamax camcorders, but at what point do you justify spending $3000 to get 4:4:4. In my opinion it would be a nice prosumer or better. You might think a high end consumer model is justifable. When a modification costs more than the camera I think a better camera is in order
